Ah. OK; I can see the advantage of that.

That's a big re-think of the aliases file, it seems to me. Not that
someone out there couldn't do it :-)

Although I'd like that, too, I don't think of the aliases file as an
address book. It's just an aliases file, and I don't think it was meant
to have all of those address book features -- that almost sounds like a
WinDoze mailer! :-) My answer is to just pop open another screen console
and run my little 'la' or 'lla' listaliases scripts to grep for text.
